[QUOTE="MusicalBuzz, post: 813256, member: 5555"] Right! There is really little negotiation room with ESPN because for too many it’s considered essential. It’s also why Comcast launched its sports network. Aside from the exact number, it’s why ESPN is offered starting Preferred package and why it is significantly more than lower tiers. Now… where all the various Conference channels factor is a different matter. Do we know what ESPN’s business model is re subscribers vs ad revenue? Whatever it is I guess we know it isn’t going so well. Anyhoo, to refocus to the thread.. it’s been suggested that the next realignment/added member is subject to its related “media market”, eg West Virginia = Morganton, or Auburn=Birmingham. I’ve challenged this on the lines of the “brand” is more important. And I would add competitive matchup to that. I also submit that B1G adding Rutgers and Maryland was less about adding TV market but increasing membership. (And would love to see what real revenue impact UM and RU has had). But B1G apparently has the largest revenue share of any conference and it along with its notable football ”brands” would be a compelling membership. [/QUOTE]
